Winona State University has been ranked as a top college in Minnesota for providing the greatest lifetime return on investment. The rankings compiled by AffordableCollegesOnline.org identify 22 colleges in Minnesota where degrees pay off the most. Graduates from these schools enjoy the largest earnings gap between non-degree holders and earn more over their lifetimes, on average, than graduates from other Minnesota institutions.

Carl Stange, WSU’s Director of Admissions, says the ranking confirms that a WSU education is a great value and provides students and graduates with the skills they need to succeed.

“Our students and parents recognize that the education and experiences WSU offers allow our graduates to excel, to have successful careers and be productive members of their communities,” Stange said.
